 # Introduction
 
-This module strips *XEP-0224 Attention* in rooms.
+This module strips [XEP-0224 Attention] for certain affiliations in rooms.
 It adds a room configuration option to strip it from members, so that only admins and higher can use it.
 A default setting for all rooms can be set in the config file. This can be overwritten per room.
 With this module loaded, unaffiliated users won't ever be allowed to use *Attention*.
